Things Have A Way of Working Out…Perfectly.

Hello!Since we know that we can’t actually produce stress out of thin air-that we can’t actually put it in our cars and drive it home from the store or wherever we can “find” it, we must know that we create it. This is HUGE. If we create stress then all we have to do is [...]

Give up your “shoulds and “oughts” for good…

Hello!I am a big proponent of giving up the "S" word. It never makes you feel good to think about what you should be doing...you just feel bad and guilty instead. So, I tell my clients to replace them all with "I'm working on..", "it would be nice if...", or "I want to start..." This [...]
